Why Butterfly Wings?
Well as you know, we're all about butterflies!
For many of us, butterflies are a symbol of the child we lost. The butterfly has long been a powerful symbol across many cultures. It is a symbol of transformation, of the spirit and the soul, and of the unending cycle of life and death.
The metamorphosis of the butterfly is a powerful symbol in so many ways for us when we are grieving. They are the beautiful tiny spark of life that came to us, lighted in our lives for a too brief moment before fluttering away. They are the hope that the transformation that loss brings into our life, can result in something different, something beautiful. We may not be the same at the end of our journey, but we have grown, we are able to see things that we could not before. They are the hope that we may swallow that butterfly soul searching for us, and hold a baby in our bodies and in our arms once more.
To commemorate the symbolism of The Butterfly Run, we're selling butterfly wings! 100% of proceeds from the sale of these wings will directly support the Butterfly Run Ottawa/Gatineau. These wings are handmade with organic cotton thanks to Fabrications Ottawa and sewn in memory of baby Aaron who lived 100 precious minutes.

- To the Greeks the butterfly was the symbol of the soul, and it was believed that each butterfly was a human soul searching for a new incarnation.
- The Celts also believed that butterflies were new souls seeking life. They believed that a woman became pregnant by swallowing these tiny butterfly souls.
- Early Christians also believed that the butterfly was a powerful symbol of the soul.
